The Giants did some good things on defense Thursday night.
The New York Giants' defense stinks! That was the common refrain all throughout the preseason, and through a pair of season-opening losses where the defense didn't put up much resistance while both the Dallas Cowboys and Atlanta Falcons went on critical long touchdown drives late in those two games.
Thursday night against the Washington Redskins, though, maybe we got a glimpse at the possibility that the defense might not stink. That, in fact, there might even be a few things it does well.
